how to hang a college of pictures in your room

I do not think about it much but i use a camera almost every day. for people of different ages I’m sure it varies but whether it’s using snapchat, taking any picture on your phone, or professional pictures with a nice camera, you use a camera more than you may think. the problem many people seem to have is not knowing what to do with all of these pictures. some you may frame and put on the wall and other you do not even remember why you still have them on your phone but you still can’t imagine deleting them. I know i find it hard to delete any picture, because every picture have a story and is a memory that you feel if you delete from your phone you will forget forever. however if you are like me and use your camera almost every day, you probably do not have enough storage to keep all those memories on your phone. i honestly do not have the table surface space for a framed picture, or enough frames for all my pictures, but what i do have is some string, nail, hammer, and an open wall in my room to put up all my pictures.

I’d just like to explain that finally figuring out the best way to do this took some trial and error. I knew what i essentially wanted was like continuous rows of my pictures hanging on my one wall, i just didn't know how to do it. so I’ll tell you what not to do and then go into what to do. i first tried to use those command hanging strip hooks to hang up the string and those were a waste of money. they couldn't hold the weight of the pictures and paper clips that i was using to hang up the pictures. by the way, paper clips were not a good method for hanging the picture up. they made it so the pictures were always tuned one direction instead of straight ahead. next i tried to using nails and hanging the string as one continuous string going from each nail to the next and down to the next row of 2 nails. that method did not work either because the string would not stay tight enough. what i found to work the best was to have 4 rows each with 1 nail of either side of the row where the pictures would go. then i would  measure and cut durable thick string, leaving enough extra for human error. then i tied each end to the 2 nails so it was fairly tight. lastly i used mini closed pins to hang the pictures of the string. another tip if you have many pictures and not a lot of wall space like myself, print off pictures that are half the size of regular 4 by 6 pictures so that they take up less space. i also found that it just looks better overall with the smaller pictures, the bigger pictures looked too bulky and stood out in the room. that pretty much all there is to it. if you want to add some color i suggest painting the close pins in fun ways to go with the color scheme of your room.
